Replace oil valve seals without taking head off on a mercedes sl55 R230-PART 4

8:00 Did you rotate the engine anti-clockwise😮

[@JPANDA_108]

Yea haha he certainly did

[@garyzhang5099]

@@JPANDA_108 nvm, I had to do the same thing when I did that job😂, just don’t crank it too much like he did in the video lol. When I do that the cam will tilt up, have to use rocker arm (cover) to push it back in place little by little later. Lucky, I didn’t messed up the timing

Hello Kalsnigh and any on else that would like to know. The kit that you bought also comes with a pneumatic tube with spark plug adaptor. You can use that tube to connect an air compressor to the cylinder to keep it pressurized instead of using rope if you would like. Or if you prefer to use rope, it also makes it easy to get the piston on a cylinder all the way to the bottom because as soon as you put air on it, it will push the piston all the way down (be ready, and holding the back of the cam).

0:14 of the movie. I will propose to use #12 socket and use only fingers. It pop up quite easy. i damaged my two oil seal's springs.

Depress or press on the spring a bit then tap the end of the spring compressor with a light hammer to break the keepers loose. It may work to break them loose before using the compressor. Works on the models of 25 years ago, anyway.

Good job, great video 📹 👍

Warning if you hit the oil seal to hard you can cut the round coiled spring on the oil seal. So don't throw your old oil seals away, you can transfer the spring of the old one.

What is the make and part number of the valve spring compressor you're using?

Hi Kal, where are you based I need the valve stem seals done for my 1989 Mercedes benz W126 500 sec. I don't trust most local garages and they have been saying ohh you have to take head out and I know it can be done without that. Cost not an issue
